I have had an Asko DW for almost a year. I am very happy with it and have had no problems.. It is only prudent to ask about service availability in your area but I wouldn't assume that means that the Askos are service prone. Good luck

I love mine. It is actually the second one I have owned. the first lasted 15 years and then I replaced it. I've had this one for 4 years and it is going strong. We live in our kitchen and you cannot hear the thing running. Dishes are clean. I even have a light inside that I thought was dumb at first but really like.

Make sure you have local service. Also some ASKO require a different opening size. My girlfriend loved hers, but when she had trouble it was a wait for parts. When she went to replace it, the new one didn't fit in the same opening.
